Where does VJ get its stats from?

[ergfsh 2]

Hi everyone ! 
I was just wondering where VJ gets its stats from? 

We have filed our i129f petition for a k-1 visa and we have had our NOA1. I entered the date we received it into our timeline, and got an estimate for the end of February. That date seems to change every time I check, it's now end of March. Why does it change? when i check the average for similar petitions, VJ still claims its an average of 61 days for my type of petition, service center and beneficiary's country. We got our NOA1 on the 30th of December, so 61 days brings us to the end of Feb.. 

On the Processing Times page, it says that "petitions with NOA1 dates as follows are currently being processed", for our service center that is December 2nd 2016. Yet when i go onto the California service center processing times, it says i129-f's from August 16th are being processed. (that was updated on the 25th Jan 2017) 

 

Can anyone help me figure it out? D: I'm so lost with all this!

I believe the information is generated by other members of the site who have added their dates to their personal timeline.

It means that if lots of people update their details, you can get an accurate estimate of how long things are taking (albeit a subsection of all visa applications). However, I suppose the flaw in the system is that lots of people update their timeline irregularly or forget to altogether...which can somewhat skew the data.
